For the first time in a few years I got dressed up for a fun Halloween evening out, and I must say it was a blast. Thank God I finally got a social life since moving home!
I've been hanging out alot lately with my friend from work and his wife (I know, I know, it sounds kinda weird) and he was super excited about a Pimps and Hos party at a casino so he convinced me I should go. So... we had to scrounge up some pimp and ho getups in just a few short hours. Him and his wife went to 3 different halloween stores- I just went straight to my closet. And yes, I found a ho costume. It wasn't too difficult.
Jane and Anna decided last minute to take the ride down to AC for the festivities, so we met up with them at the club. And surprisingly enough, even though I was the DD and only had 2 drinks all night I had a freaking blast! I've gotten into this habit of going to bars where you just stand around and talk and I'd forgotten how much I love to bust my white-girl moves on the dance floor! And as it turns out, if there is dancing you don't have to be wasted to have a realy good time. Who knew? Every other place I go I need to be obliterated to enjoy myself at all.
It was amazing to see exactly how ho'd out some girls can get themselves. I had on this little dress with fishnets and high black boots and I felt like a total moron walking through the casino floor. How did the bare assed "I'm wearing chaps and a thong" girl feel when she was making that same walk? Or how about the chick in the flourescent orange spandex/thong combo? Surprisingly enough, I didn't see any bare breasts, but I definitely saw more asses than I cared to see.
Today I had one of those episodes that makes me say This would only happen to a smackass like me! I wrote a paper for my class on Saturday afternoon, and somehow lost the disk I had saved it to and planned on bringing to work today to print it out. So... that left me with an hour and a half window of time between work and class to rewrite the paper and haul ass to school. Surpisingly enough, I pulled it off with 40 minutes to spare- enough time to stop for coffee, drive to school, and get there with five minutes to go. So, I'm a few blocks from work and realized 2 things- I forgot to type up an additional assignment I had, and the notebook it's in is sitting on my desk. So, I wheel it around, haul it back to school, and type that shit up. I now have 20 minutes to get to my school- which is a half hour away. And I'm totally booking it when... THUD! This bird totally bites the dust on my windshield! It not only scares the shit out of me, but throws me into a total panic! Should I pull over??? Where'd it go? Are my windows open? Could it have fallen in my car??? And I'm looking in my rearview mirror not seeing the damn thing so I'm like oh my god it's probably on my roof! Luckily I realized that A) pulling over would accomplish nothing and B) I'd soon be going 80 on the highway so if it was on my roof it couldn't last too much longer.
I get on the expressway. Class starts in 10 minutes. I'm doing 85 (who knew a Mazda could???) and driving like a complete dickwad weaving in and out of lanes in an attempt to hurry myself along. And finally, I've reached the exits for the parkway. And...
I get on the parkway going south.
But I need to be going north!
I am a smackass!
Needless to say, I was a little bit late today.
